Chapter 1224: Killing
The Roman expeditionary force that Pompey brought to the interior of China was the elite of Rome's elite and the most effective legion in Rome.
Soon the chaos calmed down, and the vast Roman legions appeared on the endless coastline.
These Roman elite soldiers had experienced a "prison disaster" that had been crowded for half a year, and their impatience needed to be released.
And Pompey took advantage of the situation, and the target was directed at Huating County, which was ten miles away.
The Roman expeditionary force stepped on the official road of Daqin, and Pompey, who took the lead, was very surprised by the bluestone avenue that could walk with eight columns of soldiers side by side, "Hey, Ben Shuai still thinks that only we Rome will build such a road, it seems that this Hongwu Emperor is not simple." โ
Liu Bei on the side said with a smile: "There is just such an official road for us to quickly capture the interior of Great Qin." โ
The Roman generals laughed loudly, and felt that what Liu Bei said made sense.
The Roman expeditionary force was like a mad dog, rolling along the official road, a large number of Roman exploration horses, riding horses in front, all the people of Daqin encountered were killed, and soon approached the densely populated area and came to the planting area outside Huating County.
At this moment, it is the early spring of 211, and thousands of Daqin people are working in the endless rice fields, taking care of the rice, preparing for the first harvest of the year.
The simple people, with dark faces, always have a smile about the imminent harvest, but there is a lingering worry.
In the rice fields, there are mostly old people and women, and young and middle-aged people are rarely seen.
An old man walked to the edge of a neighbor's field, took off his hat, and fanned it. said: "Lao Wang, I heard that your little cub has gone?" โ
"Dude....... Ay....... Lao Wang sighed.
The old man caged the ears of rice under his waist and said, "Young people should go and break through." My eldest has already gone. He looked at Lao Wang, who was obviously worried about his son, and suddenly said, "Do you remember back then?" It's the emperor, it's countless soldiers, who saved us. Remember a few decades ago? My father, in order to let me go down, starved to death. โ
The old man's side was gradually surrounded by croppers, and these old people who were old and left behind had memories flashing in their eyes.
"It's the emperor. If we are protected, we will have a good life. Without the country, can we still live? โ
The old man patted Lao Wang on the shoulder, "You should be proud of your son becoming a soldier to protect his family and defend the country." The old man shouted loudly: "Remember, follow the emperor to have a good life." โ
At that time, life was difficult. The people have no means of making a living. Although the peasants are called peasants, they do not have a single acre of land of their own. After the heavy labor ushered in a bumper harvest, all of them were taken away by the gentry lords, and the hard-working peasants were in danger of starving to death in winter. It was the Emperor Hongwu. It has brought a new atmosphere to the world. The peasants finally had their own land, and all the people were no longer oppressed, and they lived a good life with enough food and clothing.
People love Hongwu the Great. Loving their heavenly country.
"Back then, Sun Quan scorched the south of the Yangtze River. It was the emperor who turned the tide. If there was no emperor, we would have died a long time ago. And our children and grandchildren. Now he will be enslaved by the tyrant in Yizhou and be a slave. The old man became excited, "Cut off the children and grandchildren, cut off the children and grandchildren." The emperor is our great benefactor, and the great benefactor ......! โ
The villagers were agitated.
"That hateful Rome, coveting our wealth, wants to rob us of our wealth and make us slaves. The emperor has personally recruited for us, and all the soldiers of the whole country have gone to the front line. For what? Isn't it just to let us people continue to live a good life! Those of us in the rear should work even harder to support the front. โ
"Work hard and support the front!" The villagers chanted, and their enthusiasm skyrocketed.
A middle-aged uncle angrily yelled at his son, "Stinky boy, I'll go to the front tomorrow!" โ
The young man's face turned red, but he whispered: "Dad, it's not that I have a bad leg, if not, I'm ...... I've been there a long time ago, and you still need to say? โ
The father was embarrassed for a while, hurriedly went to comfort his son, touched his son's head, and sighed: "Your leg was broken back then, but fortunately the emperor came up quickly, if not, it is not lame, it is useless." Fortunately, the emperor saved his father from the tyrant Sun Quan, if not...... Ay....... โ
After resting for a while, the villagers felt full of energy, "Work hard and support the front line!" โ
The old man said excitedly: "I will give all the food to the state this season, and I don't want a penny!" โ
"That's it!" People shouted slogans and scattered to work, and made up their minds to serve this season's grain, and when there was a bumper harvest, all the food was handed over to the state.
"Fuck the Romans!"
Emperor Hongwu led the simple people of this era, just as the great leaders of later generations led the same simple people. The people, they have never loved their country so much and loved the leader who led them to a better life.
The old man didn't look eighty anymore, he was still full of energy, waving the hoe in his hand, "Follow the emperor, we will be able to defeat Rome and live a good life...... Wow! โ
A sharp arrow pierced the old man's heart, but his eyes widened and he looked into the distance.
"Taigong!" Lao Wang panicked and helped the old man together.
More people gathered around.
"Quick...... Fast...... Run! The old man took his last breath, and he did not bare away, and the white clouds of the sky were reflected in his dull pupils. And the lightless corner reflected the hideous face.
Xiu Xiu~, a few more sharp arrows, three blood flowers, three hard-working Chinese people fell into the rice field, and the blood stained the field red.
Lao Wang looked in horror, and saw many strange soldiers on the road by the field, wearing strange armor and holding strange but sharp weapons. With the tremor of the great earthquake, more and more soldiers appeared.
"It's the Romans, the Romans!" The young man exclaimed that when he was a school in the county, he had seen portraits of the Romans.
"Run, get the word out, enemy, enemy!"
Lao Wang and the others quickly moved away from here.
And the Roman soldiers shouted to go down to the paddy fields in pursuit, "Oops...... "Many people are not used to the muddy paddy fields and fall into the fields. When I got up, I was already covered in mud. People can't catch up.
The Roman soldiers at the edge of the field laughed.
"Hey, why can't you see a long silk tree!"
"Stupid. Silk does not grow on trees, it is made by the people of Great Qin! โ
"I see, then we must catch a few slaves who can make silk!"
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Liu Bei, Pompey and others appeared here.
Liu Bei didn't look at the dead Chinese people in the field at all, and after setting up a pergola, he pointed to the west, "Your Excellency the dictator, that is the county seat of Huating, and the army can spend the night there." โ
Pompey was overjoyed. Immediately sent an order, "The army marches quickly, immediately seize Huating County, slaughter the city, and lift military discipline!" โ
"Slaughter the city, lift the military discipline!" This is the order that the Roman soldiers are most willing to hear, and one by one they seem to have beaten a mad dog and run wildly to Huating County.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang stared at the lost people in the fields. The churning hearts of the nation made them unbearable to see this qiฤ.
"Big brother!" Zhang Fei shouted with a glare.
Liu Bei was also stunned, "Second brother, optimistic about the third brother." Don't make trouble for me. Drive~drive~. โ
Huating was a small county, which could not resist the brutal army of 200,000 in Rome and fell in an instant.
Night. Huating County has fallen from a quiet and peaceful paradise county to a hell created by 200,000 Roman rioters.
Under the moonlight. In the lights, the shadow of the devil roamed around the city.
Cries of despair. Mixed with arrogant ghost screams.
Imperial Historical Records: At that time, the 200,000 Roman expeditionary force, under the leadership of Liu Bei, secretly landed on Lรฌ. Huating County fell, the old people and men were slaughtered at that time, and at dawn, the women also died. When the Romans left Huating County, all 50,000 people in Huating died, and none of them were spared. The fire was raging and was extinguished after another three days. The Romans came to the only imaginary prosperous Oriental paradise world, and the atrocities of the Romans had just begun to .......
The lonely and desolate thin shadow, worshipping the monstrous burning ground, the blazing light shines on the Confucian clothes.
The Romans are coming!
The devil is coming!
The news spread, Jiangnan was turbulent, and Jiangnan Intelligence Guard flew pigeons to pass the book as soon as possible. The Jiangnan Military Region had almost no soldiers, and Yangzhou Thorn Shi Bulu, on the one hand, flew pigeons to pass the book to the imperial front, and on the other hand, gathered a small number of troops and began to urgently evacuate the people in the southeast of Yangzhou.
On the other hand, Luoyang, surrounded by tall and thick curtains, covered a place, and there was a dazzling light rising to the sky.
"Miracles!"
"Miracle!"
"Xiangrui!"
Wenchen military generals, whispering.
When Qin Feng walked out of the curtain, his helmet was also crooked, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and there was gunpowder smoke on his armor, and the same was true of Dian Wei and Xu Chu who accompanied him.
Although the wolf bรจi, the Hongwu Emperor still looked up to the sky and laughed, and the ministers did not know why.
"Edict ......."
Emperor Hongwu issued an edict, and he actually ignored the battle on the front line and stopped in Luoyang City.
"Your Majesty, what happened? Why build a big wagon. Pang Tong couldn't help but ask.
Emperor Hongwu just laughed.
Subsequently, countless large wagons were built and quickly entered the warning area. When it came out, it traveled slowly, and deep ruts pressed into the ground.
Qin Feng looked at the carriages that drove out one after another, and snickered with joy.
The civil and military officials are inexplicable.
However, joy begets sorrow.
"Report ....... Eight hundred miles south of the Yangtze River is urgent! โ
Qin Feng's face changed, and when he took it over, his face changed and changed, his fingers inadvertently loosened, and the newspaper flew down.
Pang Tong pushed away Jia Xu who stepped forward, and was the first to pick it up, his face suddenly turned green, "This, how is it possible!" โ
Jia Xu looked at it, "Wow...... Clutching his chest, he stepped back one after another.
When Guo Jia saw it, his body shook violently, and his face was like ashes. "Jiangnan is finished!" Amazingly unanimous thoughts, crossed their minds.
On the contrary, it was Qin Feng, who pulled out the sword of Yitian with a loud voice, and pointed to the sky angrily, "Liu Xuande, you also falsely claim to be a descendant of the Han family, a descendant of Huaxia." Come on, mobilize troops and horses, and immediately send troops to Jiangnan! โ
"What!" The military advisor was full of liver and gall, and his face was even more embarrassed than just now. Now, Qin Feng only has 5,000 Imperial Forest troops on hand to deal with the 200,000 wolf-like Roman legions, and he also has a fierce general like Guan Zhang and a strategist like Zhuge Liang, isn't this a clear death?
"Your Majesty!" The three fell to their knees. (To be continued......)
